Chapter 369 Extra: People in the Second Town of Weihou Mansion
At the gate of the old Zhenwei Hou Mansion in Kyoto, now the Dongping Hou General Huaihua Mansion, there was a group of men and women in tattered clothes, old and young, lingering outside.
One of them, a woman who looked over fifty years old and had gray hair on her temples, stepped forward with her little feet, dragging a man who also looked old and decadent, and said tremblingly.
"Hou, Lord Hou, in the past, the rebellious son Lao Liu was disobedient to discipline. Today, he is in a high position. He has been granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister. He is favored by the new emperor. He is a new rich man. Even our former mansion and property belong to him. Can he take us in? ”
The man who was the former Zhenwei Hou raised his eyebrows, flicked his shabby sleeves, and shouted loudly: "He dares! As long as his surname is Cheng, as long as he still retains the blood of the Cheng family, he dares to deny us! I am his Didi’s dear uncle is his elder!”
Marquis Zhenwei roared loudly, without any hint of hypocrisy, but he did not recall at all how they treated Cheng Su, his wife and children, and suppressed and seized wealth. Now Marquis Zhenwei is quite righteous.
He is strong, but that does not mean that everyone behind him is strong.
Seeing his wife, who was obviously much older, and then glancing at the timid family next to him, he thought that he and his family were like a frightened bird crossing the street, like a mouse crossing the street. After going through many hardships and being looked down upon, he was able to return from the north and the south and show his authority. Hou forced himself to calm down and comfort himself.
Anyway, he has been growing up in Jinxiudui since he was born, and he was born to be a master. The new emperor finally granted amnesty to the world, and they are not guilty. If they don't have to live a hard life with everyone shouting for beatings, he will definitely live a good life and get back what belongs to him. Everything about myself.
"Don't worry, he is a member of my Cheng family after all. We didn't harshly abuse him in the past. In any case, he has to cherish the blood relatives of the family. Besides, the world pays attention to the family. If he jumped alone, If he wants to gain a foothold in the court and make achievements, he needs the help of his close relatives and trustworthy people. In terms of trustworthiness, who can compare with his own blood? "
Marquis Zhenwei was full of confidence, but Madam Hou knew that in the past they had really treated Lao Liuyifang harshly, and even threatened them with money. Don’t forget about the Xinhai Pavilion! She certainly doesn’t have a master of her own. confidence.
She couldn't help but feel anxious, "But what if, what if Lao Liu doesn't want to?"
Zhenweihou snorted coldly, "No? Why wouldn't he? Isn't he afraid of being drowned by the world's spit? Does he just want to be a lonely soul with no family to rely on and no place to go to if he dies? Ghost?”
The former Mrs. Hou choked, and Na Na Ganba said: "How can he be a lonely ghost? As long as he has money and power, he will open another branch to worship his parents, build a new ancestral hall, buy a new sacrificial field, and rebuild the family tree for a hundred years. Afterwards, there were many offerings.”
So these can’t threaten Lao Liu at all!
"Besides, Lord Marquis, have you forgotten? When we were in Xinjing, it was because of Xinhai Pavilion that Lao Liu went to join the army to resist us!"
Speaking of which, she also regretted it. If she hadn't been forced to risk her life and join the army, how could he have the glory he has today? Today, why should they be inferior to others?
After all, it’s all thanks to them!
After being reminded by his wife, Zhenweihou, who had vowed to do so, actually felt shaken.
Yes, why did he forget that Lao Liu was a bitch, coaxing and coaxing him back even when he refused to leave?
For a moment, the former Marquis also lost his confidence and said, "Then, what should we do? We can't all live on the streets, right?"
The whole family, young and old, was lost in thought.
To be honest, based on their original attitude towards Liufang, now that Liufang has become prominent, it is strange that they can treat them well.
But instead of joining Lao Liu, they have no relatives in this world, and most importantly, they are penniless!
When Hu Di went south to plunder, they fled in a hurry. They didn't take much of their property with them, and most of their property was left here;
Later, chaos broke out in the south, and they fled again, and all their remaining family property was destroyed;
Later, the ignorant king was executed, and they, the former powerful people, were like mice crossing the street, and the situation at home was even worse;
Now that they are able to come to the capital to look for them, it is because these old nobles in the past worked hand in hand to support each other that they made it all the way to the capital in embarrassment. If there is no way out, death is waiting for them.
That won't happen, absolutely won't happen!
After much deliberation, in order to live a better life, Zhenwei Hou was ready to take a step back, calm down, and said hard.
"It's really not possible. I don't want to enter this prince's mansion and let the sixth man take care of me. Who said he is not my biological son? We don't have this blessing either.
But since he is the son of my Cheng family and is part of my Cheng family, I thought I would support him, help him get a wife, and watch him give birth to children. They all say that kindness from birth is not as important as kindness from nurturing. I have to repay the kindness of nurturing, right? We don’t want anything else, and we don’t want too much. Didn’t Dalang and the others hear on the way that the properties that my Zhenwei Marquis Mansion left in the North were all given to Lao Liu by the new emperor. As long as he keeps these intact Return everything to me, and I will forget the blame. The worst thing is that I will never have anything to do with him from now on. ”
Hearing what Zhenwei Hou said, everyone behind him nodded in agreement.
"Okay, this is good, this is good! What my father (husband, father-in-law, grandfather) said is true. As long as we get the old family wealth and don't cling to this high-ranking brother today, the worst is, we can find a place to live our own lives again. day to go.”
The whole family, old and young, all agreed, which made Zhenwei Hou feel infinitely more confident. He actually led such a large number of people and knocked on the door of the Hou Mansion.
As for the mansion, Cheng Su and Yu Meixue, who were taking the children to have a meal at home, heard a servant coming to report that a man claiming to be his uncle came to surrender with a family of children outside the gate. The couple was quite surprised. , but also said that their uncle? Who is it?
As a result, the couple came out together to take a look, what a guy, Cheng Shu was happy.
Xin said that he had not even taken the time to seek revenge on them, but this enemy came to his door on his own initiative. It was interesting!
What? Do you want yourself to repay the kindness of upbringing? Do you want yourself to return all the lands, villages, shops, and gold and silver treasures given to him by the new emperor?
Tsk tsk tsk, what a big face!
Although Ji Mo was well-informed, Li Yaoguang had already learned about this family's shamelessness, and was really shocked by the newcomer's righteousness.
Thinking of the past, and looking at the destitute man in front of him without any remorse, Cheng Su sneered.
If there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, if there is no door to hell you come here instead, then don't blame yourself for your evil heart, you will definitely get retribution.
Cheng Su smiled, took his wife's hand, patted it comfortingly, and said gently: "Don't be afraid, Meixue, how about leaving everything to your husband?"
The grown-up Yu Meixue didn't hesitate, she believed in her husband even more, and nodded repeatedly.
After receiving his wife's imperial edict, Cheng Su turned his head to look at the family who were still showing off their usual prestige, and couldn't help but smile eerily.
You want him to support you, right?
You want his gold and silver treasures, right?
Then, the hard times for Zhenweihou's family will truly come.
Li Yaoguang's uncle was also very clever, and he promised very well. He supported everyone and respected his elders. However, he didn't even entertain him with a simple meal, and he didn't even give the servants any clothes. With a wave of his hand, he sent someone The big family was sent to the small mountain village where they were originally sent. It was still the small farmhouse where Yu Meixue lived with her husband who had a broken leg and was unable to walk.
The wicked Cheng Su was very skillful in repaying him with his own methods. First, Zhuangzi sent troops to surround him and restricted his personal freedom. Then he smashed the stove in the small courtyard and moved the pots and pans. All the firewood inside was given away to him, leaving only a few tattered quilts and a sack of Gu Kang. Ye Sandan, who is now the head of the village, gave him careful instructions. Good guy, the entire Ye family village is keeping a close eye on this family. They strictly follow the instructions of the head of the family, Cheng Su, not only to prevent people from running away. , just like driving a donkey, keeping an eye on them all the time, letting this family do all the dirty and tiring work in the village without stopping for even a moment.
This family is either picking dung or on the road to pick dung. They are very busy. In addition to the work in the village, they have to live. Under the supervision of many people, they have to go up the mountain to collect firewood and go to the fields to find food. There is not a penny in the house, and if you don’t work, there will be no follow-up food and you will go hungry.
The whole family is suffering, as if they were soaked in the bitter water of Coptis chinensis. Everyone has become a little cabbage crying for their father and mother. They can't eat well, can't wear good clothes, and have a stench that can't be washed away. , seeing the hard work in the sky, seeing the chickens in the villagers' homes glowing green, but unfortunately they couldn't eat, so they could only swallow their saliva. Every night, they beat their old waist, arms and legs that were about to be broken, crying and regretting, Hate it.
If they had known that today would be so miserable and they would not even have freedom, they would rather continue to stay in the Southland. After all, they are just suffering from poverty. Here, their life is not as good as when they came here, like rats crossing the street, everyone shouted at them!
Regret! That guy Lao Liu is so vicious and evil! Why is your heart so dark?
This family spent the rest of their lives in poverty, labor, hunger, hardship, and regret. This made them feel better than death even though they had good food and clothing and thought they were superior to others.
But if they were really asked to die, they wouldn't dare to let go.
I have to say that her uncle's trick of retaliating with teeth was really a clever one. She didn't feel bad at all. She secretly looked at the misery of the family and wondered why Li Yaoguang and Yu Meixue were so happy!
There will probably be one or two extra chapters about Li Yaoguang, Ji Mo, and Shen Yue. In addition, I will rely on the live broadcast of Gou Doomsday to ask for your support, thank you.
